Jersey Diner Tzatziki Sauce Recipes

JERSEY DINER TZATZIKI SAUCE

Steps:

• Line a small colander with a damp paper towel. and place in a small bowl. Place the yogurt over this and allow to drain in the fridge for 1-2 hours, until it has become thick like sour cream.
• Grate the cucumber and place in a second colander. Salt lightly and press with hands or the bottom of a bowl to remove excess water.
• Mix all ingredients. Cover and place in fridge for about 30 minutes (garlic flavor will intensify with time).
• Serve with fresh veggies, falafel, or gyros. Yum!

JERSEY DISCO FRIES

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Arrange steak fries in a single layer in a greased 15-in. x 10-in. baking sheet.
• Salt and pepper as desired.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned. (Check the frozen fries' packaging for alternate baking directions).
• About 5 minutes before the fries are finished baking, pour the gravy in a small pot and warm on the stove over medium heat, stirring frequently.
• Empty the cheese sauce in a microwave-safe bowl and cover with a sheet of paper towel (to protect against splattering). Heat the sauce on high for 30 seconds, then stop and stir the sauce.
• Repeat microwaving the cheese sauce on high for 30-second intervals for about 2 to 3 total minutes. (You want to heat it enough that it becomes easily pourable).
• Take fries out of the oven and place on a large platter.
• Pour gravy over the fries.
• Then pour on the cheese sauce. Add as much cheese and gravy as you want -- some like their disco fries drier; others like them drowning.
